- © 2014 © 2014 Taylor & Francis.The propagation of shear horizontal waves between the interface of two magneto-electro-elastic materials with an magneto-electro-mechanical imperfect contact has been studied. Mechanical, electrical and magnetical imperfections are modelled by means of a spring, a capacitor and an inductor, respectively. A general expression for the dispersion relation is given in an explicit form. Some limit cases are analysed in detail. The influence of imperfect contacts is shown in some numerical results.
